I know I may get a lashing for asking this but with a budget in mind. Would there be any issues with replacing the hard plastic lines with rubber lines? I know I could use electrician's fish tape to pull it through into place. My worries are the grommet area (where the hose would pass through the body panels) rubbing or kinking the fuel line. I am exchanging the current 1.8 four, for a 2.7 six.
Any thoughts? |

You need to put a bubble flare on the end of the tubing, or use a die and cut threads on the OD of the tubing, otherwise it can push off. Stainless is so smooth you can tighten a hose clamp on there as tight as possible and still pull the hose off.
Racer Chris' solution is to tack weld a ferrule on the tubing. |
